Here's everything we know about the 3 inmates who escaped the Bexar County Jail

SAN ANTONIO - The three male inmates who escaped from the Bexar County Jail on Friday morning were all being held for murder charges, with the most recent coming in December 2017 in the shooting death of a 3-year-old boy.

Bexar County Sheriff Javier Salazar said the three men, who he described as “violent offenders,” were able to escape from the jail’s recreational area after cutting a hole in mesh material 20 feet up from the ground.

JACOB BROWNSON

On Dec. 14, 2016, Brownson was already in the Bexar County Jail on an unrelated aggravated charge when he was arrested in the connection with the shooting deaths of three men in a North Side apartment.

According to an affidavit, the triple slaying was treated as an errand for Brownson, describing that his wife and three young children were waiting outside in a van during the shooting.

Anthony Rodrigues, 24, Pedro Garcia Jr., 21, and Matthew Martinez, 22, were found dead on Sept. 27, 2016, at La Paloma Apartments at 102 W. Rampart Drive. Each was found with several gunshot wounds.

Brownson’s wife told police he had picked her up from the apartment the morning of the killings, around the same time witnesses heard several gunshots.

Brownson’s wife told police that while she and their kids waited in the van, Brownson walked back inside the apartment only to later be seen walking quickly back to the vehicle.

Investigators found blood in a van that Brownson told police was his wife’s, telling them that the van had been stolen.

Brownson was charged with capital murder in the deaths of the three men.

LUIS ARROYO

On Jan. 24, 2016, Arroyo was arrested for a vicious attack that left two people dead and a third victim injured from gunshot and stab wounds.

When SAPD officers arrived at a home at the 3800 block of Sherril Brook Road near Bandera Road on Sept. 21 just before 11:30 p.m., they found a man identified as Rodney Spring in his 40s shot to death, and two women each shot and stabbed.

One of the women, identified as 36-year-old Quikether Jackson, died on the day of Arroyo’s arrest from wounds suffered in the bloody assault.

A detective told KSAT 12 the morning after that the two women were believed to be in a mother-daughter relationship.

Police said they tracked Arroyo down to the apartment complex in the 7600 block of Callaghan Road where officers and SWAT closed in and apprehended him.

SAPD officials charged Arroyo with capital murder in the deaths of the man and woman.
